To prevent or minimise wellbore instability problems, it is critical to determine the optimum wellbore profile and to design an appropriate mud weight program based on wellbore stability analysis. It is a complex and iterative decisionmaking procedure since various factors, such as in-situ stress regime, material strength and poroelastic properties, strength and poroelastic anisotropies, initial and induced pore pressures, must be considered in the assessment and determination.This paper describes the methodology and procedure for determination of optimum wellbore profile and mud weight program based on rock mechanics consideration. The methodology is presented in the form of guideline charts and the procedure of applying the methodology is described. The application of the methodology and procedure is demonstrated through two field case studies with different in-situ stress regimes in Australia and Indonesia.

Several problems in analysis can arise in estimating in-situ stresses from standard hydraulic fracturing operations if the borehole is not aligned with one of the principal stress directions. In these nonaligned situations, the possibility of fracturing a spherical cavity for estimating the in-situ stresses is investigated. The theory utilizes all the advantages of direct stress measurements associated with hydraulic fracturing and eliminates the geometrical problems associated with the analysis of hydraulic fractures in cylindrical boreholes.
